Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Disappoints on PS5 Pro: What's Wrong?

On November 28, Ubisoft released the PS5 Pro patch for Avatar Frontiers of Pandora in addition to the new Secret of the Spires DLC, but apparently not everything seems to have gone smoothly with regards to the update to Sony's mid-gen console.

According to what was reported on ResetERA by players who had the opportunity to try the update, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora would be presented on PS5 Pro with some evident problems that penalize its performance and visual quality. In particular, the PSSR implementation would not work correctly, causing continuous sparkling effects on the screen that compromise the quality of the images on the screen. As if that were not enough, on PS5 Pro there is only one graphics mode available, therefore it is not possible to change options, thus forcing users to play with all the technical problems that emerged after the patch.

As it stands, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora does not perform at its best on PS5 Pro, making it preferable to continue playing on a normal PlayStation 5. At this point, we will have to see if Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment will intervene further to resolve the technical problems that have emerged in order to guarantee an optimal experience even on the new mid-gen console.

If you have never played it before, our review of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora highlights the strengths but also the limitations of the Ubisoft production, available from December 2023 also on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
